confessions of a galley slave (vol. V)
I loved HIGH FIDELITY by Nick Hornby. That book really connected with my own experiences working in a record store circa 1978-1983. That’s right, when CD’s came in, I went out. Vinyl was (and still is) my thing. Stayin’ strong for my LP’s and 45’s.
A pleasant package arrived today in the mail. It contained a galley of the new book by Nick Hornby. SLAM will be published in October.
The cover squib says that it is a “funny and moving novel about falling hard for a girl, and other classic male mistakes.”
Right up my alley, again.
Been there, done that. Nick Hornby, a literary fountain of youth.

Not limited to the male species. Not always a mistake. Knot in the stomach. Next to the butterflies. That’s amore!By Barbara Delaney

I love Nick Hornby’s writing. He’s one of the few authors whose books have been made into excellent movies. Both High Fidelity with John Cusack and About a Boy with Hugh Grant were wonderful. I’ve heard that this latest book is aimed at younger audiences. I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of it.
